Hospitals may keep an individual for up to 72 hours without their permission.

If doctors think you need to stay for more than 72 hours, you have the right to a lawyer and a hearing before a judge. The hospital will tell you how to ask for this.

• When a person is a danger to himself, herself, or others because of what seems like a mental illness, or 

• When a person cannot get or use the food, shelter, or clothing they need because of what seems like a mental illness.

In an emergency, call 9-1-1 or take the person to a hospital emergency room. 3
